[Answered] Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? - programming.dev

I read an old thread [https://lemmy.world/post/29072279] documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here’s a topic to discuss it. What should we do? What are the options? ----------- Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

What should we do?

There is no “we” and you can start a fork/rewrite if you want to, good luck!

PieFed is essentially what OP means. It exists, it does everything Lemmy does, and a bit more. And it does it faster, both for the user and for server resources.
